I feel like this is better posted on Reddit, but I already looked there and couldn't find anything, so maybe my "fuck the system" girls can help me out over here.
I'm trying to start Dev Math 2 and I already downloaded my textbook for free, but my instructor didn't get the free version of MyMathLab like a kind human being, so now I need an access code.
Does anyone have a good way to hack this?
There are some things I won't pirate, like movies and TV shows, because I actually respect the craft and the creators.
But charging $130 to just to do homework in a subject I don't want to do, learning stuff I've made it 24 years without knowing? Nah, I ain't paying for that.

The Boston Globe: RĂźmeysa ĂztĂźrk: What to know about the Tufts student arrested by immigration officials
RĂźmeysa ĂztĂźrk is a 30 year old Turkish national. She had a valid student visa and until recently was pursuing her third year of doctoral studies at the Tufts University Elliot-Pearson Child Study and Human Development program.

Late on March 25, 2025, while on her her way to end her daily Ramadan fast with friends, RĂźmeysa was arrested by DHS agents (some in masks), and taken across state lines, without advance notification, despite a Massachusetts court order (although the DOJ claims she was moved before the court order).
If you haven't heard this slightly built woman cry out in fear, go watch this video. It is heartbreaking.
RĂźmeysa is currently being detained for possible deportation at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile.
South Louisiana ICE Processing Center
RĂźmeysa's only "crime" seems to have been being one of four authors of a year-old op-ed in a university newspaper (The Tufts Daily) expressing dismay that the Tuft administration was being "dismissive of" some student senate resolutions calling upon Tufts "to divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel."
Yet, the Trump administration, in its haste (and incompetence) to deport immigrants, appears to have incorrectly prejudged RĂźmeysa to be one of the "bad people" that Trump's administration claims they are rounding up to protect Americans.

TRUMP: We're getting rid of a lot of bad peopleâŚ. Theyâre being taken out. And we hope this court system that's become so active all of a sudden in trying to protect some very, very bad uh⌠people of crime. Uh, they have to stop.
We already know that the incompetent and cruel Trump administration, has sent innocent people to El Slavador's horrible CECOT prison, like Andrys, a gay, Venezuelan make-up artist who was mistaken to be a member of the Tren de Aragua gang because of his tattoos.
And yet, the Trump administration, as always, denies making mistakes and Trump rails against the judges who are trying to stop innocent people like RĂźmeysa and Andrys from the cruel excesses of the administration's (often incompetent) deportation practices.
According to CNN, Secretary of State Marco "Rubio suggested without evidence [that RĂźmeysa] was involved in disruptive student protests over Israelâs military operations in Gaza." Yet, her brother Asim, claimed that aside from cowriting the op-ed, RĂźmeysa did NOT engage "in any provocative or aggressive action regarding the Palestine issue." And, according to The Boston Globe, people at Tufts who knew RĂźmeysa said "that she wasn't necessarily a leader of campus activism at Tufts, though she did support Palestinian human rights."
According to a lovely tribute to RĂźmeysa written by her department at Tufts, she is studying child and adolescent development, and appears to be a caring individual who is highly valued by the Tuft's community. As such, she did not deserve to be spirited away to an ICE detention facility and potentially have her life and graduate studies derailed by an unfair deportation.

And to think that many of Trump's MAGA followers cheer on this cruel behavior of ICE towards law abiding legal immigrants like RĂźmeysa whose only "crimes" are that they have chosen in the recent past to express opinions against the needless suffering and deaths of tens of thousands of civilian women, children, and men in Gaza.
STOP THE SIMPLISTIC BLACK-AND-WHITE THINKING: Just because people don't agree with the slaughter of the Gazan people does NOT mean they are pro-Hamas, or support the horrific Oct. 7th terrorist attack against Israel. It is this simplistic black-and-white thinking that Trump's administration and Marco Rubio's State Department are using as a justification for terrorizing innocent graduate students like RĂźmeysa.
Under Trump, America is being led down a dark path of hate and scapegoating that is limiting the rights of due process of many people in marginalized groups. Trump loves to talk about how his deportation policies are "getting rid of a lot of bad people." But if we as a nation do not ensure due process so that innocents are not swept up and unduly punished in Trump's efforts to control immigration, then we collectively are allowing our nation to become no better than autocracies like Russia and China.

Below the cut is also an excerpt from a beautiful tribute to RĂźmeysa from her department at Tufts.]
Above is a link to a truly beautiful tribute to RĂźmeysa from the people in her department at Tufts. Here is an excerpt from that tribute:
Rumeysaâs presence on campus has been missed, as her genuineness and care for others have been felt deeply here at Tufts. Her fellow students put it best: âRumeysa is usually the first to arrive on campus: she boils water in the kettle and is ready with a warm greeting. Today, she is still everywhere with us. She is in the Turkish tea that we brewed this morning; she is at the top of our inboxes, planning the pastries she would bring to our iftar tomorrow evening; she is on the wall with her byline in an article about refugee representation in children's television and in a colorful Istanbul postcard; she is in the red swivel chair that she always sits in. Even in a department focused on human development, Rumeysa stands out as someone who reminds us daily of the importance of protecting children, cultivating joy, and connecting to our own deeper humanity. We are not the same without her steady, gentle presenceâ.
The Boston Globe "RĂźmeysa ĂztĂźrk" Video Transcript
GIULIA MCDONNELL NIETO DEL RIO (NARRATOR): On Tuesday, federal immigration authorities detained Tufts PhD student RĂźmeysa ĂztĂźrk, who is a Turkish national here on a valid visa, according to her attorney, and took her into ICE custody. Video obtained by the Globe shows plainclothes immigration agents approaching ĂztĂźrk as she's walking on the sidewalk in Somerville. ĂztĂźrkâs attorney has filed a habeas petition in Boston Federal Court asking her client to be released from ICE custody. ĂztĂźrkâs arrest comes as the Trump administration is cracking down on illegal immigrants here on green cards or visas, who have participated in some way or another in pro-Palestinian activism on campuses. However, those who know ĂztĂźrk told the Globe that she wasn't necessarily a leader of campus activism at Tufts, though she did support Palestinian human rights. Advocates and professors who knew ĂztĂźrk said they were absolutely shocked by the apprehension of her by federal immigration authorities. Questions remain about why ĂztĂźrk was apprehended as she was here legally on a student visa. Her attorneys and community advocates are pushing to get answers.

Archetypes of Severus Snape (part 1)
Severus Snape is one of the most controversial characters in J. K. Rowlingâs Harry Potter series. His actions and motives spark debate ranging from self-sacrificing bravery to cruelty and prejudice. To grasp Snapeâs psychological nature from every angle, it is useful to examine him through the lens of archetypal theory. This brief study analyses Snapeâs image on three levels: by applying Carol Pearsonâs system of twelve archetypes, by tracing the stages of the heroâs journey (Joseph Campbellâs monomyth) and by referencing Carl Gustav Jungâs archetypes of the collective unconscious. Such an approach helps reveal the characterâs deep-seated motives, follow his inner conflicts and observe his evolution across all seven books.
Disclaimer: everything below reflects my subjective reading of the character based solely on the books (not the films!). I neither idealise nor demonise Snape.
Carol Pearsonâs Archetypes in Snapeâs Character
The American scholar Carol Pearson distinguishes twelve heroic archetypes, each mirroring certain motivational and behavioural patterns along lifeâs path. Several of these archetypes can be discerned in Severus Snapeâand as the plot develops, the dominant archetypal roles shift. Below I examine the Pearson archetypes most vividly embodied by Snape, supporting every claim with quotations and episodes from the novels.
The Orphan Archetype
Archetype outline. In Pearsonâs model the Orphan is the âwounded childâ or the outcast who met an unsafe world early on. The Orphanâs bright side shows realism, resilience and empathy for othersâ painâbecause the person has known deprivation firsthand. Yet the shadow manifests as bitterness, cynicism, distrust and, above all, the victim stance: the Orphan may blame others for misfortunes, expecting special treatment in return for past suffering. In its darkest form the Orphan lashes out even at those who sincerely try to help, harming others and self alike. Such a traumatised individual tends to lock into grievance, a sense of ânobody understands me,â and often anticipates betrayal where none exists.
Key traits. The Orphan seeks safety yet is disillusioned with trust. At its lowest the archetype is a âconvinced victim and cynicâ; at its highest it recognises vulnerability and the need for mutual support.
Snape as an Orphan
Snapeâs childhood unfolded in a troubled family: a tyrannical Muggle father and a witch mother unable to shield her son. A thin, poorly dressed boy with a sallow face and lank hairâthe details hint at neglect and lack of care. He learned early that life is unfair.
From childhood Snape shows cynicism and resentment toward the âlucky onesâ: Petunia Evans, whom he views as smug, or wealthy schoolmates like James Potter. Friendship with Lily Evans became his single bright spot, yet it, too, collapsed through his own misstep and fascination with Dark Magic. All this forged an Orphan worldview: he feels betrayedâby parents, classmates, life itself.
After the Maraudersâ âprankâ (when James Potter saves him from the werewolf Sirius had set on him), Snape feels not gratitude but humiliation and hate, convinced one must trust no one. His cynicism is plain in his biting remarks and disbelief in noble motives. As a teacher he mocks studentsâ and colleaguesâ idealism, as though deriding the very idea of selflessness or courageâan echo of the Orphan who expects only the worst.
At Hogwarts Snape is essentially still an orphan despite living parents. Sorted into Slytherin, he likely meets pure-blood snobbery (he himself is a half-blood, a âsecond-classâ status to some). Besides Lily he has no close friends. Instead, there is always an enemy: the Marauders make his life a chain of humiliations. Isolation and displacementâclassic Orphan feelingsâcause Snape to harden and see only threats and injustice.
Deeply sensitive, he expresses hurt through sarcasm and aggression, hiding behind âthorns.â We see the adult Snape as a cold, caustic, cynical master who trusts no one and expects no good. His own line to HarryââPerhaps you have not noticed, but life isnât fairââperfectly captures an Orphanâs conviction that justice is a myth.
Years later his hostility toward Harry feeds on old pain: Harry incarnates James, the tormentor of Snapeâs youth, and reminds him of Lily, whose loss he cannot separate from guilt. Thus Snape often mistreats Harry as if avenging past wrongs. In Philosopherâs Stone he humiliates the boy on the very first Potions lesson with barbed questions. In Prisoner of Azkaban he tries to have Harry expelled. He complains that Potter âhas an overinflated opinion of himself,â seeing in him nothing but his fatherâs arrogance â âpride encoded at the genetic level.â Of course, Harry does sometimes break the rules, but Snapeâs response is always disproportionate, signalling projection of old wounds: he remains the hurt boy fighting a hostile world.
Order of the Phoenix reveals Snapeâs most agonising memory: James and Sirius publicly bully him; Lily intervenes, Snape, humiliated, calls her âMudblood,â ending their friendship. Here the Orphanâs bitterness peaks: he pushes away the only helping handâtypical behaviour for someone used to being a victim. Losing Lily, Snape withdraws fully into darkness, joining the Death Eaters. At the lowest expression the Orphan in him becomes the âconvinced victim and cynic,â scorning allâincluding himself.
Archetypal Transformation
Did Severus ever outgrow his inner Orphan? Partly, yes. By the finale he chooses to stop being a victim and instead take responsibility. The guilt over Lilyâs death never lets him go, but it shifts from passive self-torment to an active mission of atonement. Snape no longer complains about lifeâs injusticeâhe quietly (?) bears his cross, working for years as a double agent. He renounces personal happiness, risks his life and endures hatred without expecting gratitude or understanding (and indeed receives none while alive). Here he transcends the infantile Injured Orphan, becoming a conscious martyr-warrior, as will be seen in later archetypes.
Yet the Orphanâs shadow never quite leaves: Snape carries hidden hurt to the grave, never opening up to anyone (perhaps except Dumbledore) while alive. Only through his post-mortem memories do Harryâand we, the readersâlearn the tragedy of this âabandoned childâ who spent an entire life emotionally isolated. In the end the Orphan archetype converts from destructive (cynicism, bitterness) into a resigned tragedy: Snape accepts his lonely fate and channels the pain of loss into duty, but inside remains the boy yearning for the world to spare those he loves.
to be continued...

'Hate' incidents being probed by police include a child who said a classmate smelled like fish, a woman likening another to a Rottweiler and the 'homophobic name Leonard'
By:Â Emily Jane Davies
Published:Â 22 Nov, 2024
Police forces have been blasted for investigating 'hate crimes' that include calling someone a Rottweiler or being called a 'Leonard' over a row about a hedge.
NCHIs are meant to be recorded for incidents 'clearly motivated by intentional hostility' and where there is a genuine risk of significant escalation, government guidance says.
But the police have been accused of wasting 'valuable time' on investigating so-called hate crimes such as an 'aggressively-administered haircut' instead of 'real crime'.
One former Met detective said it the situation is 'ridiculous', adding: 'No wonder there is a crimewave in this country.'Â
Cases of reported hate crime include a Lithuanian customer who was unhappy with their haircut claimed it was done deliberately because he spoke Russian and the barber was allegedly 'aggressive and rough' as a result.
In one case, a German woman was likened to a Rottweiler in a parking dispute.
In another police were told someone had been homophobic because they referred to someone as a 'Leonard' in a row over a hedge.
Officers have also recorded incidents against children, such as one who called a fellow primary school pupil a 'retard', and against two schoolgirls who said another student smelled 'like fish'.
In 2021, a man was investigated for racial hatred because he whistled the Bob the Builder tune at his neighbour.
Wiltshire police also investigated an incident where a person said others were mocking the length of their hair.Â
According to The Sun, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'This nonsense undermines confidence in policing.'
Around 13,000 NCHIs were recorded in the year to June, and may be diverting badly-needed resources from other crimes as the Met faces axing 2,000 officers.
Ex-detective Peter Bleksley told the newspaper: 'The guidelines suggest you should only intervene in cases like this where there is fear of escalation â who ever had a fear of escalation after a bad haircut?!'
The report was made online and later withdrawn, police said.
An NCHI can remain on file for six years and occasionally be disclosed to a prospective employer.
Reform MP Lee Anderson added: 'Our police have lost control of our streets, and now their bosses have lost control of their minds.'

[ Boris Johnson branded the investigation into Ms Pearson 'appalling' and an attack on free speech ]
It comes after a police force investigating a journalist for allegedly inciting racial hatred recorded 1,500 non-crime hate incidents in just two years while failing to answer non-emergency calls 'swiftly enough'.
According to The Times, a freedom of information response revealed that Essex Police logged 702 non-crime hate incidents between June 2023 and June 2024 and 834 in the 12 months before that.
But a separate police watchdog inspection also found that the force 'doesn't promptly resolve non-emergency calls', which could 'contribute to a loss of confidence in the service'.
One of the 'suspects' recorded on the force's hate incident database was a shopkeeper who refused a person entry to his shop because they had a guide dog with them.
Another complaint was logged when a civilian said they felt their bank was being difficult with them due to their 'skin colour and height'.
It comes as Essex Police faces criticism for investigating Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson over a tweet that was posted, and then quickly deleted, last year.
The force has been condemned for its actions by critics including former prime minister Boris Johnson who have questioned whether investigating hundreds of non-crime hate incidents is worthy of officers' time.

[ The journalist says officers have over-reacted to a year-old post she is said to have written on X, formerly Twitter, before swiftly deleting - this is among her posts this month in response ]

[ Allison Pearson has used X, formerly Twitter, to defend herself and criticise Essex Police ]
Ms Pearson said the police arrived at her door on Remembrance Sunday and told her they were investigating a 'non-crime hate incident'.Â
However, Essex Police dispute this and said the officers were clear the alleged offence was inciting racial hatred.Â
The Times also revealed last week that UK police forces had recorded more than 13,000 non-crime hate incidents in the past 12 months, including against schoolchildren, vicars and doctors.
Former officer Harry Miller claimed 'the system is broken' and stressed that non-crime hate incidents were 'only supposed to be recorded as a form of intelligence in order to prevent future crime'.
Another non-crime hate incident recorded between April and June this year in Essex saw a suspect allegedly mimicked a victim speaking Arabic.
In a separate incident, an unnamed suspect wrote a tweet on X 'which the victim has found deeply offensive and feels that it is a racist hate crime'.
However, officers say Pearson's tweet is being treated as an alleged criminal offence of inciting racial hatred, rather than a non-crime hate incident.
Responding to the statistics, an Essex Police spokesman said: 'Our work has seen crime fall in Essex, with 9,300 fewer recorded crimes in the last year and 20,000 fewer than five years ago.
'We also know we have the support of our community, with 77 per cent of people in Essex saying they think we do a good or excellent job.
'If someone reports an incident perceived to be motivated by hate or hostility, it will be recorded in accordance with the national standards and process as set out by the College of Policing.
'With every report of this kind made to us, we must consider future risks of significant harm set against freedom of speech and act upon â and record â incidents proportionately and appropriately.'
Newly collected data shows the recording of NCHIs is widespread - with critics questioning whether the investigation of non-crime hate incidents is an appropriate use of police resources, especially in cases regarding children.
Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary and former policing minister, said: 'These examples are obviously totally absurd.
'Pursuing these sorts of incidents is a total waste of police time - they should be concentrating on criminals. It risks having a chilling effect on free speech, one of the fundamental values of this country.'
Journalist Ms Pearson said she was still in her dressing gown when Essex Police officers showed up at her door on Remembrance Sunday.
A spokesman for Essex Police said this week: 'As a police force, we investigate matters which are reported to us without fear or favour, no matter who makes a report or to whom the incident concerns.'
At the time of Ms Pearson's alleged tweet last year, the journalist was regularly posting about Hamas's October 7 attacks on Israel, as well as pro-Palestine demonstrations happening in London.
On Tuesday night, Essex Police said officers had opened an investigation under section 17 of the Public Order Act 1986 relating to material allegedly 'likely or intended to cause racial hatred'.
==
"it will be recorded in accordance with the national standards and process as set out by the College of Policing."
Therein lies the problem. This is not the result of a statute or law implemented through the government. It's the concoction of an unaccountable, ideologically captured organisation that has already been told to stop the practice. This is what it looks like when your entire police force is woke.
Allison Pearson's case has subsequently been dropped but never should have been pursued in the first place.
Shoplifting goes unpursued, but social media posts bring the full force of the law.
The UK has lost its fucking mind.

My Graduation update
So... Back in May, I had attended my Graduation Ceremony, I had taken pictures with the dean and celebrated as I was graduating from college finally.... ...It turns out I did not graduate. I spoke about this a bit in my discord, apparently I am short 1 single course, a mathematics class. I tried taking a Statistics class during this summer, which I think you all could notice as my work cycle was slowing down a lot. But after 4 weeks of the class, the work was too much, 8 weeks wasn't enough time to absorb all the knowledge of a 16 week semester, and Statistics itself is the most complex math class out of anything I had ever done, and so I had dropped the class. It was draining trying to learn all the formulas, understand the structure of statistics questions, and Pearson's online textbook questions was enough to make me want to shoot myself in the head(having 15 sub-questions in a single question should be criminal and outlawed). So I have to take one more semester for an algebra class to officially graduate. Dropping the stats class felt soul-crushing at the time, I've been attending school for 23 years. Being an autistic child, I had to go to pre-school, attend special-ed classes, ruthlessly be bullied by both students and teachers. Highschool felt like a relief from the special ed classes, I was comfortable in most of my classes, I passed my SAT's on the first try, and even went on a date with a cheerleader that I liked and she liked me back. My first 3 years of high-school was a lot better then the elementary school years of my life. But then my mother had an opportunity for a big promotion at her job, and it required the whole family to move closer north to get this promotion. With no choice in the matter, I spent my senior year of high school away from my friends and the high-school I had grown attached to. The high school I had attended for my senior year, El Toro, felt as if though I had jumped right back into elementary school only worse. There was a requirement to do 8 hours of community service that my high school did not have for a requirement, I had to attend another year of biology, kids did drugs in the bathrooms all the time, and they had a cellular blocking system that prevented students from reading from their phones anywhere on the campus premises. It was a miserable year for me, I wasn't able to make friends at this high school, and I felt like I was going to forever be alone. BUT, one thing that came out of it that was positive was the birth of Frostbite the White Knight, my Super hero OC that I brought to life from my Sonic OC, Frostbite the Husky. 10 years pass, I have well over 100 characters for Frostbite the White Knight, developing a story for him and his friends and enemies, and right now, working on 2 fan series to further expand my knowledge of comic writing and graphic design through trial and error. My plans for the year have been to make a Frostbite the White Knight Pilot comic and a Legend of Amaroth & the Demon Pilot comic, but because of this unexpected delay, will be pushing those projects to next year. It's all annoying and frustrating to me to have worked so hard, only to discover that I need to still work some more for my degree, delaying projects I have been dying to make, and dealing with so much flak for trying to get it done quickly. I want to do story writing and comic books as a career, more than anything. I have such great ideas that I just need to bring out to the world for everyone to see, whether they like it or hate it, whether it costs a dollar or a million dollars, it doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks about it. I need to bring these stories I have in my head to life. I want Frostbite, Jarrod, Stevenson, Aurora, Garth, Demi, Bonnie, Clara, all the Original Characters I have made thus far into stories and give them life. To entertain, to educate, to have people feel love, hate, grief, relief, sadness, joy, and everything that makes life feel worth it. To do that I can't give up now. I have to carry on, deal with one final semester of college, and get that damn associates degree by whatever means I can. Then finally, feel free enough to do what I feel I have been put on this earth to do. Entertain, educate, and lead by example that kindness and knowledge is more rewarding than hatred and misleading information. To be that Shining White Knight that I have been developing for the past 10 years, and 10 years more if needed. I refuse to give up on this dream, and I will make that dream a reality with the dedication I have given it to this day. To give up now, is to be dead for the rest of my life. Your Shining White Knight, your Dog of war, your Survivalist of the wastes, your succubus supreme, your jackass from the depths of hell -Frostbite aka Alex

I already hated Pearson, but for fucks same they failed to actually charge my card, but for what ever reason they actually did charge my card and it went through twice. I swear if both false charges go through they will make a movie about angry college students.

don't want to panic you at all but i'm kind of obsessed with every single one of these.
isaiah fleming + noelle oliveria: for a little bit of background, noelle is a surgical intern who worked as a stripper to help pay off medical school bills / student loans. i could see this duo being super protective of each other. ride or die vibes. noelle would also love his mom ( she lost her mom during childbirth and only has her dad; he's the chief of police but doesn't know about her strip job ).
collette rayes + kevin pearson: two of the most gorgeous humans ever are you kidding me, uhm okay ??? kevin is an actor, collette is a wedding planner, they could have a totally cute run-in at a wedding where something goes wrong and kevin helps save the day and then absolutely asks for the wedding planner's number. clichĂŠ but he totally would and this ship is giving romcom vibes.
kyro lee + betty parker: two golden retriever muses who just want to make each other happy. betty has been a little bit unlucky with relationships but she believes in true love with her whole heart. she would have a love/hate relationship with kyro's career because she wouldn't want him to get hurt but she would always support his dreams.
warren randolph + emmett healy: two rich boys with questionable morals? enough said really. upper crust circles, 'make each other worse' trope. reckless because they can be. emmett is irish, comes from new money, has two younger sisters he's very protective of. this duo would be messy, confrontational and hot af tbh.
samantha carpenter + paxton drakes: my brain just immediately went 'SCREAM AU' because of paxton's fc. this might actually be fun though? paxton and sam could've gone to high school together ( sam went off the rails when she found out she was billy loomis' kid, lot of partying, drug abuse etc ) maybe they reunite when paxton's on a break from touring but a new ghostface threat appears? maybe one of his band's fans is murdered? could be interesting!

Iconic Things My Coding Professors Have Said (Part 7)
"we'll be using a very heurisitc method today called âlets just try our bestââ
âby using this model, you might come up with a solution that is sub-par but... hey, thats life"
"some people are cruel and use a blind man in their drawings to explain this graph, but i'm nice so i'll use a blindfolded man instead"
âthere was actually a very interesting study done not so long ago where scientists claimed that on days when more ice cream was purchased, more murders occured as well. now, i know what youâre thinking, iâd kill someone for limencello and ferrero rocher ice cream as well BUT in this case, that correlation was wrong and it was just scientists being dumbâ
"now so, weâre all off next thursday, but i also have an extra days holiday on friday, so if you're trying to email me then... yeah. good luckâ
"this example illustrates why we cannot repeat this exercise on more complex DOM trees because their visual representation gets too big and inaccessible too quickly. In other words: we will not be using a more complex example in a potential exam exercise because the tree would quite simply, not fit on the exam paperâ
"you know, there's a little secret that we haven't told you about before... please don't hate us, but we are about to tell you about one of the best kept secrets in the Python universe and it would have made your homework SO much easier"
Prof: âdoes anyone know what mistake the dumb scientists made? iâll give you a hint; correlation is not the same as causation, so what else do you think would increase the amount of ice cream bought and also increase the amount of murders committed?â  student: âbeing humanâ  prof: â... the correct answer is hot temperatures, but technically, youâre not wrongâ
"then we'll be looking a linear model, which is the most important part of this course. you can look at it as... the swiss army knife, if you will, of data models"
"we use the pearson correlation method which is the, uh... vanilla method"
âfirst of all, you can immediately see that the p-value for gender has changed. why? because i made it like that. why did i make it like that? Â god only knows"
"we'll be looking at the titanic dataset which is a really funny data- no, wait, i shouldn't say that, it's not a funny dataset, it's a... nice dataset to- nope, itâs not nice either. entertaining? wait, no, people died. iâm not a pyschopath, i swear"
prof:Â "so hereâs your blindfolded man on top of the curve of the graph"Â Â student:Â "thatâs quite a dangerous place for him to be"Â Â prof:Â "very dangerous for him, yes, but machine learning is very dangerous... for you especially"
"so it was actually doctors who first created the earliest version of this algorithm by using a nearest neighbors set up. so instead of looking at a new patient and trying to come up with what's wrong with them, they based their diagnosis on similar past cases. for example, if someone came in with blue hair and purple eyes and yellow skin and- wow. this is starting to sound more like a carneval than a hospital. i mean, both places are a joke, but still..."
"this is the way we solved this issue for a lot of people. it seems a bit hacky, but hey, as along as it works"
prof1: "that wasn't too difficult" Â Â prof2: "speak for yourself" Â Â prof1: "i am. i don't know whatâs going on with you, but i want nothing to do with this"
"you need two predictors, or more. three way interactions can be... messy, but still possible, much like other three way activites that i could mention, but i won't, because you're still children"
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6Â | Part 7 | Part 8
Part 9Â | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 | Part 14

Day One Hundred Thirty-Nine
There are four things the SRO knows about me: I train in karate, my GOV class gets high-profile guests, I hate ALICE training, and my family makes maple syrup. He found out that last thing this morning when I offered him a pint from the box my dad mailed to the school (Mrs. R, Mrs. T, and Mr. F got the others). Itâs an odd set of facts, so I donât think he quite knows what to make of me yet.
But he still hasnât seen me fall down any stairs, so thatâs a win.Â
My classes today were so-so. APUSGOV was quiet because half of my students were absent- no idea why- and my lesson primarily involved reading up on corporate interest groups. I used âbig educationâ for my first example, and said that, since this was an AP course with a Pearson textbook, they might end up raging against the machine while being inside of it. But it was a good example, and we had a good discussion about it. The other example I had them read about was agribusiness. Also, on a tangent, a student brought up gas companies and their lobbying influence, and then an article about congressional hearings with gas company CEOs popped up on my news feed, so weâll revisit that next class before I move on to teaching about citizensâ groups.
Todayâs World lesson was one of my favorite ones: conditions that promote armed violence. Students examined some specifics outbreaks of violence, then read about what preceded them with the goal of finding commonalities. As I told them: violence is predictable because there are usually pretty glaring warning signs. We discussed those as a class, then did some reading, and that was that. Block 1 was great, as it always is; Block 2 was okay (they did amazing with the lesson, but thereâs still some behavior stuff that needed to be addressed); Block 4 made it all of about ten minutes before I assigned seats because there was way too much off-task behavior. The disrespectfulness of it was really frustrating, especially since Iâd spoken to them about it before, so I figured enough was enough. The energy in the room definitely got better, although work completion did not. Thereâs a defiant âIâm not doing anything, then!â attitude the freshmen sometimes adopt when things arenât going the way they want them to be. Most drop it once they realize it doesnât have any impact on my decisions, but weâll see if they do in this class.Â
It was the nicest day this week- finally, no wind!- so practice was glorious. M<y sprinters did some 40m dashes, and then I worked with them on blocks and The Head Coach worked with the 4x100m teams on their passes. The Athletic Trainer came out towards the end of practice to talk to The Head Coach, and he and I ended up chatting for a bit about how crazy- and beyond our training- the last few years have been. He said this season he feels like heâs starting to get back to doing what he actually studied to do- though heâs still doing more than that, too- and I said I understood what he meant. Things are returning to ânormal,â slowly but surely, but theyâre not there yet.
